Ever wanted to see yourself in The Matrix, star in The Godfather, or launch a product ad without ever touching the product?

Now you can.

With Nano Banana and Veo 3, you can generate insanely accurate AI images of yourself and then transform them into short, cinematic videos → all in less than 10 minutes.

Here’s the full breakdown 👇


🎯 Goal

Create AI videos of yourself as any character, in any setting, without filming or editing.


🛠️ The System

1. Start with Your Base Image (Nano Banana in Gemini)

  • Open Google Gemini → Click on Tools → Create Images

  • Upload a clean photo of yourself (tip: avoid busy backgrounds).

  • Prompt: “Make the background green screen.” → Nano Banana removes the background automatically.

Now you have a clean, reusable base image.


2. Transform Yourself into Any Character

Examples:

  • Matrix Poster

#Role: AI visual artist specialized in cinematic movie posters.

#Task: Transform the uploaded image of me into a Matrix-style movie poster.

#Context: The subject should appear as a main character in the Matrix universe, standing confidently, evoking mystery and power.

#Examples: Think of Neo/Trinity promotional posters with glowing backgrounds and cascading green code.

#Format: Vertical poster, torso-up framing, sharp high-resolution detail, glowing background with falling code, movie-style typography at the bottom.

#Tone: Futuristic, cinematic, high-contrast, dramatic.
  • Sandstorm Shot (Different Angles)

#Role: AI filmmaker specializing in handheld cinematic vlogs.

#Task: Transform the uploaded image of me into a scene where I am filming myself during a desert sandstorm.

#Context: The subject is holding a camera at arm’s length, recording a vlog. The sandstorm is chaotic — wind whipping clothes and hair, sand flying everywhere — but the face remains clear and recognizable.

#Examples: Travel vloggers in extreme environments, raw handheld shots where the environment feels immersive and unpredictable.

#Format: First-person handheld framing (slightly off-center, close-up), natural arm’s-length perspective, harsh golden lighting, sand motion blur, high detail on facial features.

#Tone: Urgent, raw, immersive, survival-style.
